New guy here

Just got my MCS last week. Took it on a 800 mile round trip last Thurs. and Fri. Enjoying it so far. I traded in my 01 Jeep Wrangler with suspension lift and 35" tires.

This thing is much better on gas needless to say.

Fun car to drive to and from work in.

Handles better than I could have imagined.
Scared a couple of guys at work already on some curves.
Having a blast so far.

Very cool...glad your having fun getting acquainted w/ your new MINI. Lots of owners (including me) wonder at how quickly they wear through that first set of tires.

Welcome to NAM, Another!!!

Congrats on your new MINI! Don't worry, your smile won't wear off even long after the break-in point. It just keeps getting better and better the more you drive it!
